Amsterdam/Wembley: Italy won a hard-fought battle against Austria 2-1 all coming in extra-time goal in Wembley, while Denmark ease passed Wale 4-0 in Amsterdam to march into the quarter finals of the Euro 2020, on Saturday. The teams were locked 0-0 in the regulation time.
It was a sad end to Austria who were bold, fearless and worthy of their opponents, and delivered their best 90 minutes in a generation, as they matched Italy for effort and quality.
And it was Federico Chiesa who scored in the 95th minute, five minutes into the extra time. It was the superb subs who made it happen for Italy as Matteo Pessina made it 2-0. Sasa Kalajdzic reduced the margin in the 114th minute.
It was an intriguing first half comes to a close with no score. Austria made a bright start, but Italy have dominated in the later stages, probing and pushing to try and find a chance. So far they have come close, Barella denied and Immobile hitting the post, but Austria have looked a threat on the break.
Italy take on the winners of Belgium and Portugal in Munich.
Denmark's march into the quarterfinals at the Johan Cruijff Arena, thanks to a Kasper Dolberg brace, Joakim Maehle and Martin Braithwaite's late strikes.
The Danes dominated following an initially positive start from Wales and were ahead at the break before Dolberg nabbed his just after half-time. Maehle and Braithwaite then notched late to wrap up proceedings.
They face the winners of Dutch/Czechs in Baku for a place in the semifinals of the championship.
As was the case in the UEFA Nations League in 2018, Denmark were a class above Wales tonight. Rob Page’s team started very well and, for a while at least, looked like picking up where they left off against Turkey on Matchday 2, but Dolberg’s superb opener knocked the wind from their sails. Regardless of the result, though, Page and his players can be proud of their achievements this summer.
An emphatic win by Denmark and it is no less than they deserved after weathering the Welsh storm in the opening 20 minutes. They bossed the remainder of the encounter, playing some thrilling football and will travel to Baku to face either the Netherlands or the Czech Republic. Wales dominated proceedings in the opening exchanges but Schmeichel was rarely threatened and could not get back in the match after conceding.
More or less a perfect match from Denmark. The Danes took more and more control as the game unfolded. Dolberg started in the absence of Poulsen and proved that he should be considered for a place in the side for the quarter-final. The defence performed well and did not give the Welsh much to work with.
Just minutes after the second half kicked off, Denmark found themselves two ahead and it was Dolberg again.
Braithwaite raced down the right-hand side and delivered a good cross into the penalty area.
Williams' clearance fell to Dolberg and the striker made no mistake with the finish. Maehle - who was absolutely fantastic as a wing-back on both flanks - got in on the act. Brentford's Jensen clipped the ball wide to the Atalanta wing-back, and he cut inside of Davies and fired into the top-right corner.
Minutes later, Wilson picked of Wales' second straight red card of the tournament, hacking down Maehle late on.
Two out of the three red cards show at the European Championship this summer have been shown to a Welsh player.
And finally, Braithwaite finished the game off, finding the bottom-left corner from the edge of the box.
The linesman flagged it for offside, the VAR overturned the decision and the goal stood.
